I'm not really a fan of New Year's resolutions. How many do you end up keeping? However, a new year's experiment — where you try something new, just for January? Ahh, that's awesome. So, a few years back I read a book a day for all of Jan. That was.. entertaining, although I didn't do …

Now, from a title like that, you may be thinking I'm talking about those lifetime events that mark our place in history — ala Bill Gates selling DOS to IBM, or Lawn Chair Larry. No, I'm talking about the moments that define our character, and as a result, ultimately us as human beings. It breaks …

One of the toughest things about healing is this. Half the time we know something is wrong, but can't put our finger on exactly what the hell is going on. Why? Because our mind/ego has a delightful trait of trying to protect us by hiding things from our consciousness. This is why people get selective amnesia …

However, we'd been watching the cat (a delightful Burmese). The cat had seen something interesting, so we were curious what it was. Usually this …

I had a realisation recently. Fundamentally, the only person that has any control over how I feel is me. I choose how I feel.

Ever catch yourself doing something really stupid? You watch it happening in slow motion, yet can't seem to stop yourself going right ahead and doing it? Now, there's a ton of things that fit under the heading of 'stupid', ahh, and by goodness, I've done a lot of them. What I'd like to talk about today is …

Confidence is a funny thing. It comes in two flavours. How confident other people believe you are, & how confident you feel internally. The two are related, but not necessarily linked. E.g., it's quite common that other people see us as more confident than we may actually feel. So how do you go about becoming more …

I talked about the mirror exercise a while back. I've used this quite a lot, & discovered a few extra tricks to really amp it up, which I thought I'd share. I Love You Paying yourself compliments is a good way to start, particularly if you're feeling down on yourself, but the single most powerful thing …
